Tbh when we signed him i heard from a few southampton mates he was average. Alderweireld i got a glowing reference and they were gutted we signed him. If we get 20-30m for hoijberg chuffed with that.

I honestly hope Skipp spends his summer trying to convert to a #6. If he wants a future at Spurs, really, that's what he needs to become. I think he can become solid in that role, ceiling is higher for him there than elsewhere in the midfield.
ManC front five scored 27/19/11/3/3= 63
Arse front five scored 16/13/12/6/5 = 52
Liverpool’s front five scored 18/11/10/8/8 = 55
Spurs 17/11/8/5/2 = 43
Also creatively:
The XG table is:
Liverpool - 94.79
City - 89.55
Newc- 84.48
Arse- 84.39
Chel - 80.88
Tot- 73.35
This despite being the team with the second highest possession to City and I think (last time I saw it, maybe it’s changed since) one of the top 2/3 teams for touches in opponents box.
We need more/better quality creativity and goal scoring forwards.
The defending side right now needs to be more of a coached thing. Better quality forwards hopefully won’t keep coughing up the ball so often, but also need coaching on how to defend properly, and protect the midfield and the defence better than the the ones we have now do.
Upgrading other positions can be for future windows. For now, get me at least one creative/productive 8, a quality CF, and LF and RF.

23 years and how can we notYou saw it and believed it
its gone to the point of oh well usual buisness then
Skipp can only be a utility player here IMO. One that could cover FB either side and 6 if needed. The club will keep him for Europe as club trained if he doesn't push a move but who could blame him if he did.
Guess they’re not worried about any kind of punishment coming down.
Not surprising but still disappointing

Last week Toney's agent made his first wage demand and saw Chelsea and Woolwich and Aston Villa leave the table.
West Ham and Tottenham didn't. He has lowered them and West Ham are keen to take him.
West Ham have approached Gimenez but he rejected interest.

He has loads of clubs after him but nobody wants to give us a decent fee.
Doubt very much if, anything will help to city.
Premier league won't want to devalue their product by, stripping them of titles.
Easy to do it to Everton or Boro, because the league isn't worried about them being in the league or not, city are a big draw now around the globe.
Yeah, I don't hold out hope that Skipp will be our first choice #6. But if he can maximize his ability at that position, perhaps he can be our 2nd choice plus emergency fullback. Basically the new Dier.
I think we need to improve quality more than depth. It will take another 2/3 windows to get this squad right.
Supplement with some youth on the fringes as necessary.
Most of those players barely featured.
My plan would still leave us light at fullback.
'Kicking on' after doing the hamstrings might not be the best advice to him !
Have we signed Eze yet?
It disappoints me because I'd rather him than Gallagher
He's a better footballer, the only things Gallagher has over him are his engine and work-rate.
